flare stack design- earthquake and wind calculations

DORU · Mar 17, 2004

Hi,
Can anyone tell me about some international standards which could allow me to perform mechanical calculations and design for the flare stacks, high columns, steel exhaust chimneys etc ? I am especially refering to the vertical body (pipe) stability calculation and the eartquake/ wind verification. Also I am very interested in the anchor bolts calculations/ design.

Thanks,

The following is not an international standard, but it is a good reference and a good starting place. "Tall Stack Design Simplified" by Kanti K. Mahajan in Hydrocarbon Processing, September 1975, pp 217-220.

Dynamic effects make for interesting solutions. See Straek design. Or strache?
